Mountain Climbing - Argentina. Mountaineering trips and summits

The scenery of Argentina is absolutely jaw-dropping and breath-taking, with vast tracts of fields and pampas giving way to massive lakes, humongous mountains and dry rock formations. Patagonia in particular has been a source of fascination for centuries, with its other-worldly terrain and sheer emptiness creating a unique territory at the bottom of the world.

The Culture

The culture of Argentina is heavily shaped by its immigrant-heavy history, with Spanish colonial and Italian influences still looming large. Red meat, wine, tango and beautiful art are just some of the gorgeous cultural delights to sample, with late-nights and a fun vibe permeating the country.

The Cities

Argentina contains fantastic cities, with the world-famous, riotous and intoxicating Buenos Aires an obvious example. Other places such as Mendoza, Cordoba, Rosario and Salta each have unique and distinct cultures, customs and traditions, with interesting histories and sumptuous architecture abound.
